Dear President Makarov,

Good afternoon

Here is the mission receipt from Renault.

Today is the third day of the mission, and we have arrived in the territory of the Pyroh Forest. The forest had tripled in size compared to the first time it had been seen, and the previous hamlet had been completely engulfed in dense forest.

In the interior of the forest, plants begin to grow uncontrollably, not only in the endemic species called "Radius vine" mentioned earlier, but also in the periphery of the forest, there are also significant changes in other plants, including rare species from the outside world.

According to our analysis, those rare species are not inherently present, but ordinary species that have mutated for some reason. The most obvious example is that the white grass that can be found everywhere on the continent has evolved here into the blood-streaked white grass with blood toxins, and it has been tested to be quite violent.

We've tried to decipher the cause of the anomaly, but we don't have a clue yet. In addition, shortly after the investigation began, we were attacked by several waves of different plant variants. Three of them were vine monsters that evolved animal traits, and since the main part was a vine of Biluo, we named this monster "Biluo Vinemon". And so on, the remaining monsters are the Treants who launched a wave of attacks, the Timberwolves who launched a siege, and the Wood Spider Monster that performed a sneak attack.

These monsters are quite aggressive, but the combat power is average, and they can't cause us too much trouble, but most of the monsters have some toxins on their bodies, and the most of them even come from a mixture of four different toxins, which gives us a headache, and after Mr. Night's "antidote incense" is exhausted, we have to temporarily leave the forest and go to the surrounding towns to replenish.

In addition, based on our observations, it has been confirmed that the forest is still expanding at a slow rate, and we have made evacuation suggestions to nearby towns, but the mayor in charge there has not paid attention, and the Vida Magus of [Serpent Scales] is approaching him.

In addition, we have taken some samples from the inside of the forest, including the branches and internal sap of the plants, which have been sent to the nearest physician for analysis, and when you receive this report, you should have the results, and I will explain the results in detail in the next letter, so please be patient.

Based on the information we have investigated so far and the overall appearance of the "Bilo Forest", Dolan Bart and I have come to the same conclusion - in this forest, there is something that leaks a lot of magic power, and this magic power has become the magic source of the entire forest for unknown reasons, resulting in the "magic activation" of the forest, which can be found in the "Activation and Mutation Chapter" of "The Theory of Magical Mutation of Non-living Forms" written by Master Merlin. However, the cause of this anomaly is still unclear and is still under investigation.

In addition, during the previous mission with Lagerthas, we saw a large gathering here, and there was a notable rumor that there was a treasure in this forest called "The Secret of the Magus", although the legend is quite large, but this rumor is currently one of the key areas of our investigation.

As for your "special advice", based on the information we have so far, there is no certainty that this incident is related to the Magical Council, at least not yet. We have asked for help from the Council of Magic under false identities in the course of our mission, and their attitude is not unusual, but on the contrary, they have provided us with considerable convenience, and in this respect, they do not look like thieves.

At present, our investigation team is divided into two parts, Mr. Night and his students, and Pakas from the Four Hounds have taken an airship to a certain rock forest, according to the plan, they are almost time to return, and then they will meet us at the "Biluo Forest", and then we should go deep into the heart of the forest, and by then we may be able to find the traces of Lagersas, please don't worry too much.

Because the next action may be unfavorable, so I will greet you in advance in this report to avoid unnecessary trouble. Over the next few days, we'll be investigating at the edge of the forest, and if possible, we'll be making an estimate of the mutated monsters' habits and territorial range for future action.

Just in case, we need some medicine assistance, can you trouble Granny Polyusica to make a batch of commonly used antidotes, just send them to a nearby town via the magic train, thank you very much.

The above is the core content of this report, if there is urgent information, I will add it as soon as possible, please rest assured.

The next words are some of my personal thoughts, I won't be polite to you, I have some vague feelings about this change. There was an ominous aura flowing through this forest, the power of life magic. But the strange thing is that the magic of life has always represented health and hope, but the magic here exudes a kind of dead air. That feeling...... It's like a tree that grows to a certain extent and gives it the feeling of decaying in the process. This feeling is too subjective for me to write about in my previous report, but I have a hunch that this change must have something to do with this ominous atmosphere.

I'm going to investigate this, and according to the information we've gotten so far, this forest may pose some threats to ordinary people and ordinary magicians, but with the strength of Ragthas and Filid, they are completely comfortable dealing with this level of situation, so they may only have temporarily lost the means of communication, and should not encounter any danger.

I hope you will keep it a secret, especially for Elufman and Mira, who could seriously affect the rest of our plan if they know about it. I'm sorry sir, but it's all for my personal reasons, but I hope you can understand. In the course of this investigation, if the opportunity is right, I may directly start our plan, and Doranbart is very suitable for the executor, and if that time comes, I hope that you, and Granny Polyusica, can give me enough cooperation. Thank you very much!

As for me, please don't worry.

Wishing you good health.

Renault
